Shalulile unhappy with state of football facilities

International player and Mamelodi Sundowns striker, Peter Shalulile has expressed his disappointment in the condition of the country’s football infrastructure used by the senior national football team to train.

The Independence Stadium, which is owned by the government, and the City of Windhoek-owned Sam Nujoma Stadium, has been declared unfit for international matches by international football governing bodies.

Despite being declared unfit for use, the stadiums cannot host local games or be used for training by the national senior football team due to their deplorable conditions.

Speaking to the media on Tuesday as the Brave Warriors are busy preparing for their upcoming African Nations Cup qualifiers against Burundi on Tuesday, 22 June 2023, national team captain Shalulile said for the past 11 years there has not been a positive change in how things are done or in the improvement of structures.

“We are struggling with training grounds and for one to play good football they need good grounds. The team is preparing well for its upcoming game, but with all the ups and downs that are happening, there is nothing we can do but push and remain positive for the Burundi game. We went through this 11 years ago and we hoped things would change, but nothing has been done,” he said.

Shalulile stressed that as senior footballers they have to lay a foundation for the next generation of players, therefore the current struggles should be improved so that the next generation of players can reap the fruit of their hard work.

Finance Minister Iipumbu Shiimi this year allocated an amount of N.dollars 162.5 million towards the renovation and upgrading of the Independence Stadium in Windhoek over the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) from the N.dollars 473.2 million that was allocated to the Ministry of Sport, Youth and National Service for the 2023/2024 financial year.

Since the announcement in February this year, no renovation has been done to the dilapidated stadiums.

Chief Administrator of the Namibia Sports Commission, Freddy Mwiya said it is sad to see senior national football teams playing their games away from home, but the government is working hard to see national team games being played at home by June 2024.

County Governance Holds Consultative Meeting With Garissa County Assembly

After the lapse of Kenya devolution support programme 2020, the Ministry of Devolution with support from World Bank are designing a new governance service delivery programme that will support both county executive and county assemblies. Consequently, the team from devolution and house committee chairpersons of Garissa County assembly today held a one-day design workshop for the upcoming 5 year programme aimed at enhancing devolution and ensure public funds are used to spur development. Opening the workshop in Garissa town Garissa County assembly Speaker Abdi Gure hailed the role played by development partners in ensuring improved performance through legislative framework. Gure said the county assembly was facing myriads of challenges ranging from capacity building for both MCAs and the secretariat for effective performance. As a result, Gure said it was prudent for development partners to focus on empowering the county assemblies. The speaker noted that for the assemblies to execute its three core functions of oversight, legislation and representation, there was an urgent need for the development partners to chip in and support this 2nd arm of the government. The speaker told the team from devolution ministry, representative from Public Finance Management (PFM) and intergovernmental relations that Garissa County Assembly was facing serious problems following a 2021 inferno that gutted down the Assembly’s entire infrastructural facilities to ground. He said the inferno completely destroyed property worth Sh119 million including the chambers and entire offices for both house committee leadership and the secretariat. The speaker said that the assembly was committed to discharging its mandate despite the constraints and lauded the new engagement with the development partners to ensure wananchi realized the fruits of devolution. On his part, the deputy speaker Musdaf Abdirashid lamented that county assemblies will not be effective in discharging their constitutional core mandate unless proper legislation delinking the assemblies from the executive arm of the county governments is enacted. He called on the devolution ministry to support the call seeking autonomy of county assemblies. Abdirashid said that the county assemblies were under the mercy of the governor and therefore it was impossible for them to oversight the executive arm of the county governments. The deputy speaker further stated that unless the assemblies were delinked from the executive, billions of monies earmarked to improve lives and livelihoods ‘would go to waste’. The team was led by Dr Lawrence Nyagah of ministry of devolution who was accompanied by Sandra Muyoka in charge of monitoring and evaluation of PFM reform secretariat and Mumbi Kariuki of intergovernmental relations technical committee among others.
